Abstract
A method for controlling a pixelated light source which includes a plurality of pixels. Following the receipt of a command to transition from an initial beam to a target beam, a target luminosity based on the target beam is defined for each pixel of the pixelated light source. The pixels of the light source are then grouped into at least two groups of pixels and the method includes successively driving the groups of pixels. Driving a group of pixels includes modifying the luminosity of each pixel of the group, from an initial luminosity to the target luminosity of the pixel.
